Oren

Time has no meaning when I kiss her. It’s as if everything else gets the pause button pushed on it. But then suddenly, she pulls back. I open my eyes just in time to see hers narrowing. Her hand strikes hard across my cheek, slapping the absolute shit out of me.

Fucking hell. I see stars, and I growl. I pull back, blinking.

“You can’t just kiss people!” Kenzie hisses. She sounds furious. But I can read her like a book. I’ve spent my entire adult life studying her like a doctoral thesis. She’s trying so hard to look and sound incensed. But she’s not. Scared? Maybe. Confused? A little. Turned on? Definitely.

“Don’t you know how this works?” she mutters.

Not really at all, actually. But I know she doesn’t really either. Kenzie’s never been in this position with a man before. I know that, because I’ve literally made it my life’s work to make sure she hasn’t. I know I just stole the first kiss. But it was always mine to steal. Her lips were mine to possess. All of her has always been mine to steal.

“You’ve really been watching me this entire time? All these years?”

“Yes.” I won’t lie to her. I won’t fudge the truth either.

“Why now?” Kenzie says tensely. Her eyes search mine. “Why reveal yourself now?”

“Gordon,” I hiss. “He’s been using his money and influence to dig into the past.”

“Into you killing his brother, you mean.”

I grit my teeth. Kenzie looks down.

“Sorry, that wasn’t fair.”

“It’s fairly accurate.”

She trembles under my hands. I guessed when I saw her go into the Drake Hotel that Gordon would tell her it was me. Again, I could claim it wasn’t me. But I won’t lie to her.

“There was a burglar that night…”

I don’t say anything. But my silence says volumes. Her face turns dark. Her lips purse tightly.

“There wasn’t, was there?”

I shake my head. “No.”

“So my dad fucking lied to me, is that what you’re saying?”

“Your father protected you,” I grunt.

“Me, or his campaign?” she says bitterly.

My eyes find hers. “Kenzie, your dad is an amazing man.”

“And is that why he lied to me about that night?” Her voice is bitter. I don’t blame her. But she needs to know why she’s been lied to.

“He wanted to protect you,” I growl. “And me, actually.”

“Yeah, and himself.”

“No,” I grunt and shake my head. “No, I brought that down on his house. There was no way I was letting him wreck his career over it.”

“Oren…” she looks up at me. God, she’s so beautiful. Her blonde hair frames her pretty blue eyes. And her plump lips are still swollen from my kiss. Her first. Mine too.

“What happened that night?”

“Kenzie—”

“Just tell me! Please! Oren, I just want to know what fucking happened, okay?”

I take a deep breath. I vowed a long time ago to keep her safe. I’ve devoted my life since that night to keeping her away from darkness and pain. I know I’ve caused some along the way. I know I’ve been selfish. But it was the only path for me.
